The Joyce Girl is a prize-winning debut novel that tells the story of Joyce’s only daughter, Lucia. A dancer in 1920s Paris, Lucia had affairs with Samuel Beckett and Alexander Calder, before her father sent her to Switzerland for pioneering psychoanalysis with Carl Jung. Considered by some scholars to be a Muse for Finnegans Wake, she spent the next fifty years, until her death, living in a Northampton mental asylum. The novel, which has been sold to publishers across the world, can be pre-ordered at https://www.waterstones.
